The variety of the periodical literature of anthropology is made evident by the analysis of 204 titles in Ulrich's. Published in 26 languages and in 49 countries, the field is however dominated by an overwhelming representation of titles in English. The heterogeneousness of the contents is determined by two factors that have influenced recent anthropological development: interdisciplinarity and the creation of new specialties. Four classifications of the periodicals were evaluated and compared to a statistical typology. Few titles offer indexes to the readership. Several of the 22 indexes studied did not meet the basic criteria outlined in indexation guides and standards.
